Faucet and Fixture Installation and Repair in McHenry, IL
A faucet crusted with white scale, a kitchen tap that drips all night or a new set of fixtures for a remodel. We repair and install faucets and fixtures across McHenry, with a flat price before we start. From our office on West Elm Street.
When Your Faucet Needs Attention
In McHenry, a lot of faucet trouble starts with the water:
Scale Around the Spout and Handles
Hard water leaves white crust that eats into finishes and works into the moving parts.
A Drip That Won't Quit
Mineral buildup on the cartridge or seals keeps them from closing fully.
Sputtering or Weak Flow
A scaled-up aerator or cartridge. Cleaning or replacing it usually fixes it.
Water Under the Sink
Loose supply lines or a corroded shutoff valve.
Kitchen Faucet Repair and Installation
We repair dripping, stiff and leaking kitchen faucets and install new ones, including pull-downs, touchless models and taps for drinking water filters. In hard water, a faucet with ceramic disc cartridges and a finish that resists spotting lasts longer.
During every install, we check the shutoff valves and supply lines under the sink. Valves scaled by hard water often won't close fully. We replace them while the sink is open.

Faucets and Fixtures in McHenry Homes
Hard water and homes built mostly since 1970 shape fixture work here.
Scale Shortens Fixture Life
Mineral buildup wears cartridges and seals faster. A softener upstream protects every new fixture you install.
Many Bathrooms, Same Age
In homes from the 1990s and 2000s, all the faucets tend to wear out together. Replacing several in one visit saves a trip.
Iron Stains on Finishes
If your fixtures show orange stains, the water may carry iron. A water test tells you.

Got Questions?
Faucet and Fixture Questions From McHenry Homeowners
Soak the aerator in vinegar. Heavy scale may mean replacing parts.
Unscrew the aerator and soak it in white vinegar to dissolve the scale. Wipe fixtures regularly. If scale has worked into the cartridge, replacing it is the fix. A softener prevents most of it.
Scale or debris in the aerator, or old supply lines.
Often debris or scale from the pipes collects in the new aerator. Rinse it. If that doesn't help, the supply line or valve may be restricted.
Yes, with an under-sink filter.
Yes. We install dedicated drinking water faucets with under-sink filters or reverse osmosis systems.
Repair a good faucet with a worn part. Replace a corroded one.
If it's a quality faucet with a worn cartridge, repair it. If the finish is failing or scale has damaged the body, replace it.
It depends on the faucet and valves. You get a flat price first.
It depends on the faucet, the condition of the shutoffs and supply lines and access. We give you a flat-rate price before any work begins.
